There are at least several areas where talk in news sources is going on, and some of these pertain to talks.
Of the immediately accessible and salient of the areas:

The nuclear reactor race in outer space. Some Russian press feels the power generated by proposed US reactors is relatively small. Timeline 2030, at least for US reactor on the moon. Russian timeline for their version of reactors on the moon said to be about 2035. The subject of development on Mars is not left out; hence, in general, in competition in outer space.

Another area, is the old who has more power and power to destroy the other conversation, ongoing since at least the Cold War. One Russian newspaper said today the following, translated from Russian to English:

Why throw that stone? Truncated from the saying ...in glass houses; considering the amount of activity gone on with Ukraine in the past few years, especially what media has shown and allowed to be seen.
Russia may be too large to be in 'glass houses'; however, there discomforts with some of the activities, or at least some of the information whether true, false, or distorted, seen and heard about.
It's questionable whether the excerpt from URA.RU should have been repeated.
Time and space limitations exist. The section may be revised at some point.

World powers are already well known. The topic at the priority is sobriety of the use of power. That is amongst what makes for consideration of exaltation.

Meeting or meetings are said to be slated to take place between US leadership and Russian leadership August 6th, tomorrow US local time, perhaps already about now, Russian time.

Russia is a very expansive place, and has a number of time zones.

-autocorrect and overwriting of the words in this post is not welcome. Slated is the chosen word, not a medical term. Slate gets cleaned by angels. The final word and order is the Lord.
Expansive (not expensive) is chosen; expensive can come off disrespectful. I will not disrespect a place that is expansive. The primary priority today is the value of human life not the value of money.

Who will hold the complete understanding of entirety of the quagmire that has to do with the Russia Ukraine tensions?
Definitely do not want those with evil, misguided, or insufficiently guided, plans, to be them.
So if course for those to whom it applies, the obvious wisdom in being careful.
When 'outsiders', let us say an ordinary US citizen, attempts at assessing the tensions of the Russia Ukraine, typically one of the first principles that come up is what is the line between what is their business and not your business.
Let that be addressed. As long as the US is making major funding, the situation, the trajectory, ramifications, are to a degree our business. The reasons why are simple and evident. There are people in the US that are not sufficiently eating, not sufficiently getting educated, could-be scholarships and pools of funding such as for veterans' assistance programs, are not there.
Simple pay out versus retention of funds, and fund allocation.
There is some very intense drama going on right now (at least in the US ) in regard to funds and financial aspects of housing, such as mortgage rates. When rates are too high which makes paying for a house unaffordable, somewhere down the line, some people are being insufficiently housed or even homeless. Funds to get people off the street in the sweltering heat or freezing cold is always ideal.

Just what is on the rollout of Russia and Ukraine especially in the military tension aspect?
Here are a few of them which could present themselves as points of discussion, in the framework of earlier or present planning versus what really is happening, really could happen, and of course the undetermined yet:

• Reports are going around that developments of bans on Ukrainians being able to enter Russia might involve those bans lasting 20 to 50 years.

That could be a long time in some ways and short in others. 20 years could be a time frame that it takes for a soldier not yet born to be old enough to serve. 50 years are up around those numbers that pertain to places like North Vietnam, South Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, East Germany, West Germany. After a while people that have family in both sides of the geographic line want the wall to come down.

50 years from now, will such a wall between Russia and Ukraine be befitting in ways it may be perceived today in 2025? Age of technology and future technology.

• Needless to say, economics is a big theme in it all.

What are the things that will be affecting economics 20 years from now, 50 years from now? Will ambassadors still be flying into the region all fired up about the future of oil prices, holding meetings and talks? There might not be a vehicle on the road or in the air that needs a drop of oil or gas 50 years from now.
50 years covers the span from the Holocaust era to an era where a holocaust of the same type and region is unthinkable.

• Illegal immigration. As everyone has learned, illegal immigration is everyone's problem, regardless of where illegal immigrants are entering.

Illustrating through examples, just to make this a bit more elementary, there are a few easy to grab the concept scenarios.
An illegal immigrant enters the US, that illegal immigrant either stays in, or leaves. If the person stays, either caught or not caught, enforced or not enforced; depending, that person might need to be imprisoned, which has a cost and necessitates a process to ensure its maintenance. If the person is found, the person may have to be sent out of the country, which could leave a messy can of worms spilled out, of where does law enforcement send the person.

There are reports that Russia has or has recently had to contend with individuals that are facilitating ways that illegal immigrants can stay there; in other words, perhaps groups of people fabricating and tampering with documents, lining up jobs for the illegals that they very likely would not have gotten.

There is some transferability of the lesson learned, which is that 'illegal immigrant helper cells', could potentially crop up anywhere in the world.

Illegal immigrants can make tensions and conflicts more complex.

• There have been other severe oppression situations in different parts of the globe that have developed.

• Some reports cite statistics that the amount of casualties of the Russia Ukraine tensions surpasses a million, more than some aspects of casualties of WWII.

- What makes a world war? If it's casualties, the requirement may have unfortunately been met;  the expanse of geographic military engagement as in physical fighting, constrained to the area of Ukraine, maybe a saving grace.

True, 'our people need to eat', a concept upheld by a leader or leaders of every nation. Long term and short term in consideration; eat now at the expense of others including them not eating, might have a repercussion of less eating later. 

Who knows what other advents could happen that affect military activities, such as natural disasters, such as earthquakes, factory disasters; what if the border area between Ukraine and Russia is suddenly flooded like what areas of Texas underwent in recent weeks, where both sides need rescue efforts from multiple other nations?, what then becomes of the tensions?, no one can fight, then what, resume after back on your feet?

Numerous nations have held, been present at, or even hosted talks having to do with Russia and Ukraine, and propositions by the two.

Some of what is going on or predicted to go on in the military scheme of things, plausibly globally, 'is not working out', and 'might not work out'.

Ordinarily 1 + 9 is always going to be equal to 10.
First of the year, once that is affirmed, the 10th is going to be 9 days later.

(Perhaps unless there was a way to retroactively correct and hence adjust. The other boys with reports of the moon sighting didn't make their way yet through the mountains to the announcement center because they were blocked by the elk beast.)

Some reputable sources have said the first day, whereas a new month basically starts the evening before that day, for Muharram 1447, coinciding with June 2025, is Thursday; restated for clarity, last night the start of Muharram 1, and 1st full day, is Thursday, today.
Some sources are saying Friday, tomorrow, is the first full day.

Some entities made an announcement online.

The way the announcements are made sometimes makes it sound like some parties not only assert that a certain start date is correct, but that they are the undisputed leader and their announcement should be followed, as though the announcement for the first day of Muharram, or other date, is fact, a problem when there's discrepancy, or they are incorrect. This also happens an unfortunate frequency on dates of popular significant concern, like the start and stop of Ramadhan, and day of Eid.

Part of the whole idea, is the start and stop dates are independent of a political basis being used as the determination of the start and stop dates.

There are websites now with moon phases that are readily available. Fractions of waning might be available as well.

There are guidelines from many years ago on what constitutes moon phase sightings.

There really isn't a need to write much beyond the title; this post written just hours after the previous one on the Imminent Fusion...  possibly, post US strikes on Iran nuclear sites over the weekend.
So not to include it in the previous article, but not to completely separate it either.

There have been callings for 'regime changes' in Iran by different world leaders.

A total change, what does that mean?, and what it implies?, as it pertains to Iran. Does it mean a overly simple dynamic, goodbye Shia, and back to Shah?

This brought up, because only a selected few learned and high degrees individuals are really in the place to offer critiques on this sensitive area.
Same with some aspects of Yemen, who some there, perhaps Houthis, reportedly mentioned a joining in on the 'struggle against Israel' after developments in the past few days.

Ok, back to learned men discussion. Usually when that discussion comes up, Sayeeds and notable ancestry is brought up. In the case of both Iran and Yemen, it gets even more complicated, because it may involve Sayeeds within Sayeeds to determine what the higher determinations are. Of course who dares denigrate or denounce a Syeed how ever far up or down within the already well high up metric.
The conversation is not limited to just Yemen and Iran on the subject of which Syeed is in more esteem than another. Perhaps all of the current nations in the Middle East have been a witness to matters whether officially involving the government or over something else, perhaps down to everyday mundane matter such as how much of a certain animal or plant should be eaten for a meal.

The big in general problem, that many nations are faced as we speak, in the Middle East, Arab World, Arab or Ajami, Persian, or mixtures of the two, in the US, in US' neighboring north and south nations in Canada and central American, the Golden Triangle, European nations, is as we know, opiates opium, opioids, you get the drift.

That plant, being a root to ramifications that cause so much distraught.

The US suffers from huge amounts of overdoses each year, among these, individuals in the age group of 30 to 50, that should or could have been the pool of the ongoing wave the Country's leadership future, instead, gone, year after year.

Iran has witnessed a situation with opium plant or it's spinoffs as well. Some reports say a minimum of a couple of million to others about 10 million users.

Opiates are making their way from production locations to other locations. There are multiple source production locations. Trying to keep the discussion focused, but here's the deal, drug crops grow in major quantities in Afghanistan, Pakistan, in South America, the Far East south region, and Baqa Valley Lebanon area.

Here is a other discussion topper, whether loudly spoken or not, people trying to use Islam to mask drug use and drug sales. Those who are doing it know who they are, no reason for us to name names and point fingers.

In this day and age, it is rare for a leadership post figure, second or third tier government level, to come right out and announce or make it obvious a 100% in placement in drugs, or making use of the proceeds to enrich themself.

More likely, it's drifty, shifty, slowly milk from the buddy's buddy's buddy sort of thing, and finally arrive at a few extra million in the pocket.

If a picture can be placed here, of a Big Gulp on hot day resting beneath the 7-11 dispenser without compressing the nozzle, knowing we'll after a while, you're going to get a free fill-up because the machine drips. It's still theft. It's still crossing the ethical boundary.

Let's start getting to the bottom of what's going on in the world today, non-stop bombing, in Ukraine, over the skies in Israel and Iran. Just point the finger to nations' sole leaders and say that's who's at fault?

Probably doesn't really work that way, rarely does it ever, except in a few cases many decades, hundreds or thousands of years ago of an outright tyrannical king or queen.

It's probably more of an elder giving ear to an elder who gave ear to an elder, and yup, 1+1, just like the buddy's buddy system, and let the Big Gulp sit under there and collect.


-A quick write-up before today is over, written evening before dark EST; of course there is much more to the moving parts and pieces of the discussion, and one could list the statistics if opiate use by country; it all becomes exposed after a while.

Perhaps one of the biggest questions circulating around the globe as we speak, Sunday, on one of the longest days of the year, post US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran in recent hours, is, where is this all heading?

So far there have been, as expected, global outcries.
Similar happened upon US involvement in the Vietnam War.

As expected, there have been renown US Democrats that have expressed some disagreement to the move. Republican-Democrat party lines not singing the same tune.

Also expected, is Iran was going to have or plan to have, some kind of sit down or sit downs with longtime sort-of-an-ally-in-some-aspects, Russia.

Salient activity Russia has been involved with recently, is the exchange of missile strikes and attacks with Ukraine.

Over the past couple of years, it seems as though at least media on a global level has been bombarded with either the Gaza situation, or the Russia-Ukraine situation.
Possibly also known as, the competition for polarity.

With Iran approaching Russia amidst both concurrent situations, it may appear that, 'where this is all heading', is one gigantic fusion.

There might be a caveat to a simplistic grand fusion, which is, where exactly does Russia stand on the Gaza issue, and Israeli well-being in general? On the one hand, Russia may want to keep solid relations with Iran, who has recently exchanged missile firings with Israel, while at the same time, there are historic threads of immigrants to Israel of Russian descent, vice versa, a progression from times where there were arguable oppression of Russian officials or would be, could be, potential officials, by other Russian officials, especially in the era precipitating for example WWII (research reports of opposition to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAFC)), to a now more evenhanded political arena.

Degree of involvement by Iran on facilitating war technologies like drones, to Russia, markedly in Ukraine, has brought up many questions.

Some of the above issues start ramifiying and running off like tributaries from a lake, into ethical and even religious issues.

Historically, Iran has had the 'mental stuff and smarts', to be able to develop technologies used for war, regardless of whether under the Shah regime, where some say the social fabric started to creep towards being more decadent, on the 'Islamic count', or under the more Shia regimes post the late 1970s early 1980s.

More recently, the new stern regime had also showed signs of decadence, which is where the denouement starts.

Iran recently reported to being the leading nation of sex-change operations, may not really help their standing in the 'Muslim World', a heavy concentration of which is in the Middle East, considering the Islam position on that activity, which in short is beyond forbidden, in the main; there are so many layers of behaviors that are outlawed prerequisite to an actual medical operation, that medical operations may not even appear.

So, plausibly, even to rest assured, there are divides in Iran, over that issue, and others.

There are individuals in Iran or from Iran that have been a witness to many things and political changes, and who's in power, does not really affect their practice, correct practice, of Islam all that much.

That said, or not said, there are concerns over the prevalence of some of the activities referred to above, the Arabic tongue refers to it as fasad, (those things the Prophet Lut and Shu'ayb as quick reference shunned) that were or still are existent in Russia, also on pornographic sites, that seem to be pushed towards the top of Internet viewing screens all over the world, even when viewers really, really don't want it there, and tried to avoid it. Now yes, there have been some crackdown coming from the seat of government in Russia in the past couple of years, which may be a saving grace to Russia having the slim margin of allies it has.

Russia was not invited to the recent WWII Normandy reunion, hosted by French leader,on the grounds of what has been going on in Ukraine today.

There are echoes of a repeated theme right now, of where is Russia? on these issues, perhaps the hugest landmass under one government in the world, surrounded by nations that need to maintain cooperation with it for basic survival of the people, referring food, crops, import and export.

Circling back to Iran on the Gaza issue, there is tremendous global outcry over what appears to be an ongoing oppressive situation that those living in Gaza are being subjected to. Iran voiced a dislike of the situation, some of it through the use of missiles.

Back to Iran reportedly assisting Russia in the way military technology like drones. Iran has many Muslim individuals in it. Ukraine has numerous Muslim individuals in it. Why would A help B hurt A?, is a regularly recurring question in the back of minds of many.

At the same time, Russia has many Muslim individuals in it.

Which might lead to a fork in a road, is A really hurting A, or helping A, is A and B the same thing, etc.?

Then there's the discussion, well maybe the drones fired in Ukraine, have nothing to do with the Islamic matter. Which then brings up the very ugly question, of what do the drones have to do with? So.e people might just jump at the answer and tell out it has to do with money.

If money is the matter, then Muslims might withdraw their support. Then again, who has bucked a code existing for decades, of firing missiles into Israel, which on a 'logic' principle, (which might not always ipso facto be affirmed as entirely correct,) which might, have an impact on perceptions of them by some members of the Muslim who might have views on the Gaza oppression issue; 'sorry', in today's world of information exchange in the seconds, fatwa sharing in the seconds, Muslim individuals in the large, about roughly a third to a half of the earth's population just on the post Muhammad (sla..) emphasis count, are not the simple and run over by by 2+2, 2-1 theories.

Issues need to confronted and ironed out, within entities, on a neighbor to neighbor basis, and global basis, done peacefully, done well-informed, without any games, done fairly.

Drones and nukes are not necessarily the same thing. As matter of fact, the the regular person, a drone can be any number of things, just flying or swimming robot taking pictures, drop a box a food off, or used to ram into something, independent of what's inside. Nuclear material can be independent of what houses it, a robot, a suitcase, a drone, a factory.

With one big fusion of tensions, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, US, Iran, the competition for polarity, Russia-Ukraine theater, or Gaza theater, might not exist as it was over the past couple of years.

At this time, there are some uncomfortable divides going on, politically, militarily, and religiously, and they all affect each other.
